Navigator Software
Take Complete Control of your Navigator!

Navigator Remote for Windows is an intuitive control surface for the Navigator. Almost all controls are available on the front panel, but the software provides far greater flexibility and control. All the major functions you need are there on the screen, ready for use. You rarely need to leave the main screen or pull down a menu to access the control you need.

When connecting to your Navigator, choose either Live Mode for connecting to the Navigator, or Design Mode (offline editing). The Connection screens will allow you to connect via RS232, USB, or Ethernet (4802 or 8802 only). Choose your comm port or IP numbers for the device number your are using (device numbers can be changed in the Navigator in the System-Setup: General menu on the front panel). Your unit is connected when the green status display in the upper left of the main screen shows Link: OK.

Using your computer as a platform gives you unlimited memory storage of Navigator files.  There are three types of files associated with the Navigator:

NDAT (XDT in original version) files: These files are the equivalent of one of the 30 programs that can be stored within the Navigator. All parameters for one Navigator are stored in a .XDT file. You can store as many of these as you need on your PC. These are accessed using the Open File or Save file buttons in Navigator software. To store your work directly in the Navigator as a program, choose Store Prog or Recall Prog.

NLT (XLT in original version) files: These files store a listing of 30 Navigator programs. Store and recall these using the Download function in Navigator software. Think of these files as a way to store all 30 programs of a Navigator in one place. This can be handy if you need to make a backup of everything stored within the Navigator. Or you may want to categorize your programs according to applications. These can be downloaded to the Navigator all at once using XLT files. Use the upload function to move the 30 programs from the Navigator to your PC. The default location for these files is the Sabine/Navigator directory on your PC.

Connection (XST) files: These files are for storing and recalling all parameters related to your connection setup. Information about your Navigator network settings, including the IP addresses, are stored in this file. Save or recall these in the Connection Setup screen.

Current Navigator Software Version Notes:
For NAV240, 260, 480, 4802, and 8802 only - not compatible with Navigator models NAV3600, NAV4800, NAV8800.

Version 6.5 February 15, 2008
Many improvements were made to this version and it is compatible with all new Navigators (NAV240, 360, 480, 4802, and 8802). This version supports the blank front panel versions (-S) of all Navigators, and allows for control of the Ethernet settings, Wall Panel Remote settings, Digital I/O settings, and Device Number settings, which previously were only available using front panel control.

Version 6.4.4 November 14, 2007
Many improvements were made to this version, including: input fields on mixer are controllable via up/down arrows on your keyboard, and holding down the control key when using up/down keys makes gain changes bigger; compressor values are now directly editable in the text boxes; the compressor gain reduction metering now works correctly; improved screen scaling to accommodate non-96 DPI resolution settings; added reset buttons to the EQ filters; and the delay screen now has buttons to control polarity.

Version 6.25 July 6, 2007
The maximum available delay time on the 4802 and 8802 is corrected to show 650 ms (requires Navigator firmware version 6.02). Load list/save list functions in the Program Download dialog are improved. Improved connection performance when unplugging the USB cable while thesoftware is running. The software does have to be closed and restarted to reconnect via USB, but this is unavoidable. A 'Link Error' message appears when this happens. With RS232 connections the cable can be unplugged andreplugged without restarting the software.

Version 6.23 June 27, 2007
Version 6.21 enables TCP/IP (Ethernet) connections for the 4802 and 8802, fixes feet and meter calculations for delay values so they match the values on the LCD display, adds the ability to click on all text boxes and enter values using the keyboard, and fixes FBX bypass bug in plot window - clicking bypass enables/disables the FBX filter display correctly for all inputs.

Version 6.21 eliminates screen ‘flicker’ when launching the program and when changing or opening new windows.

Version 6.20 May 11, 2007
Version 6.2 fixes the program Save function so that it doesn’t try to overwrite preset #1, which is now system default and read-only. Screen refresh functions are improved, and the EQ window now loads faster. Fixes several "Download All" and "Reset All" functions. Fixes bugs associated with the connection status indicators and with exiting the program. Recommended for all users. For use with Firmware version 6.0.
